2009-12-05Add support for GCC-4.5's __builtin_unreachable() to compiler.h (v2)David Daney
Starting with version 4.5, GCC has a new built-in function __builtin_unreachable() that can be used in places like the kernel's BUG() where inline assembly is used to transfer control flow. This eliminated the need for an endless loop in these places. The patch adds a new macro 'unreachable()' that will expand to either __builtin_unreachable() or an endless loop depending on the compiler version. Change from v1: Simplify unreachable() for non-GCC 4.5 case.

2009-12-03tcp: connect() race with timewait reuseEric Dumazet
Its currently possible that several threads issuing a connect() find the same timewait socket and try to reuse it, leading to list corruptions. Condition for bug is that these threads bound their socket on same address/port of to-be-find timewait socket, and connected to same target. (SO_REUSEADDR needed) To fix this problem, we could unhash timewait socket while holding ehash lock, to make sure lookups/changes will be serialized. Only first thread finds the timewait socket, other ones find the established socket and return an EADDRNOTAVAIL error. This second version takes into account Evgeniy's review and makes sure inet_twsk_put() is called outside of locked sections.

2009-12-03net: Batch inet_twsk_purgeEric W. Biederman
This function walks the whole hashtable so there is no point in passing it a network namespace. Instead I purge all timewait sockets from dead network namespaces that I find. If the namespace is one of the once I am trying to purge I am guaranteed no new timewait sockets can be formed so this will get them all. If the namespace is one I am not acting for it might form a few more but I will call inet_twsk_purge again and shortly to get rid of them. In any even if the network namespace is dead timewait sockets are useless. Move the calls of inet_twsk_purge into batch_exit routines so that if I am killing a bunch of namespaces at once I will just call inet_twsk_purge once and save a lot of redundant unnecessary work. My simple 4k network namespace exit test the cleanup time dropped from roughly 8.2s to 1.6s. While the time spent running inet_twsk_purge fell to about 2ms. 1ms for ipv4 and 1ms for ipv6.

2009-12-03Bluetooth: Implement RejActioned flagGustavo F. Padovan
RejActioned is used to prevent retransmission when a entity is on the WAIT_F state, i.e., waiting for a frame with F-bit set due local busy condition or a expired retransmission timer. (When these two events raise they send a frame with the Poll bit set and enters in the WAIT_F state to wait for a frame with the Final bit set.) The local entity doesn't send I-frames(the data frames) until the receipt of a frame with F-bit set. When that happens it also set RejActioned to false. RejActioned is a mandatory feature of ERTM spec. Signed-off-by: Gustavo F. Padovan <gustavo@las.ic.unicamp.br> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2009-12-03Bluetooth: Fix sending ReqSeq on I-framesGustavo F. Padovan
As specified by ERTM spec an ERTM channel can acknowledge received I-frames(the data frames) by sending an I-frame with the proper ReqSeq value (i.e. ReqSeq is set to BufferSeq). Until now we aren't setting the ReqSeq value on I-frame control bits. That way we can save sending S-frames(Supervise frames) only to acknowledge receipt of I-frames. It is very helpful to the full-duplex channel. ReqSeq is the packet sequence number sent in an acknowledgement frame to acknowledge receipt of frames up to (ReqSeq - 1). BufferSeq controls the receiver buffer, it is used to delay acknowledgement of new frames to not cause buffer overflow. BufferSeq value is not increased until frames are pulled by reassembly function. Signed-off-by: Gustavo F. Padovan <gustavo@las.ic.unicamp.br> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

2009-12-03GFS2: Tag all metadata with jidSteven Whitehouse
There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2 metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal id of the node which is performing the modification. The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the last to modify a particular metadata block. Since the field is updated before the block is written into the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this is the journal header block, which might have a different node's id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the cluster. Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered it, via the journal header. The other field in the metadata header could potentially be used to hold information about what kind of operation was performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll know that the information (where it exists) is reliable. I did consider using the other field to hold the journal sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write the modified data into the journal and not the original data, this gives no information as to what action caused the modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better use for those 64 bits in the future.

2009-12-02TCPCT part 1d: define TCP cookie option, extend existing struct'sWilliam Allen Simpson
Data structures are carefully composed to require minimal additions. For example, the struct tcp_options_received cookie_plus variable fits between existing 16-bit and 8-bit variables, requiring no additional space (taking alignment into consideration). There are no additions to tcp_request_sock, and only 1 pointer in tcp_sock. This is a significantly revised implementation of an earlier (year-old) patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original author (Adam Langley): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586 The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce, instead of a user configured offset in the data. This is more flexible and less subject to user configuration error. Such a cookie option has been suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing several related concepts to use the same extension option.

2009-12-02TCPCT part 1c: sysctl_tcp_cookie_size, socket option TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONSWilliam Allen Simpson
Define sysctl (tcp_cookie_size) to turn on and off the cookie option default globally, instead of a compiled configuration option. Define per socket option (TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS) for setting constant data values, retrieving variable cookie values, and other facilities. Move inline tcp_clear_options() unchanged from net/tcp.h to linux/tcp.h, near its corresponding struct tcp_options_received (prior to changes). This is a straightforward re-implementation of an earlier (year-old) patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original author (Adam Langley): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586 These functions will also be used in subsequent patches that implement additional features.

2009-12-02TCPCT part 1b: generate Responder Cookie secretWilliam Allen Simpson
Define (missing) hash message size for SHA1. Define hashing size constants specific to TCP cookies. Add new function: tcp_cookie_generator(). Maintain global secret values for tcp_cookie_generator(). This is a significantly revised implementation of earlier (15-year-old) Photuris [RFC-2522] code for the KA9Q cooperative multitasking platform. Linux RCU technique appears to be well-suited to this application, though neither of the circular queue items are freed. These functions will also be used in subsequent patches that implement additional features.

2009-12-02TCPCT part 1a: add request_values parameter for sending SYNACKWilliam Allen Simpson
Add optional function parameters associated with sending SYNACK. These parameters are not needed after sending SYNACK, and are not used for retransmission. Avoids extending struct tcp_request_sock, and avoids allocating kernel memory. Also affects DCCP as it uses common struct request_sock_ops, but this parameter is currently reserved for future use.

2009-12-02skbuff: remove skb_dma_map/unmapAlexander Duyck
The two functions skb_dma_map/unmap are unsafe to use as they cause problems when packets are cloned and sent to multiple devices while a HW IOMMU is enabled. Due to this it is best to remove the code so it is not used by any other network driver maintainters.

2009-12-01net: remove [un]register_pernet_gen_... and update the docs.Eric W. Biederman
No that all of the callers have been updated to set fields in struct pernet_operations, and simplified to let the network namespace core handle the allocation and freeing of the storage for them, remove the surpurpflous methods and update the docs to the new style.

2009-12-01net: Automatically allocate per namespace data.Eric W. Biederman
To get the full benefit of batched network namespace cleanup netowrk device deletion needs to be performed by the generic code. When using register_pernet_gen_device and freeing the data in exit_net it is impossible to delay allocation until after exit_net has called as the device uninit methods are no longer safe. To correct this, and to simplify working with per network namespace data I have moved allocation and deletion of per network namespace data into the network namespace core. The core now frees the data only after all of the network namespace exit routines have run. Now it is only required to set the new fields .id and .size in the pernet_operations structure if you want network namespace data to be managed for you automatically. This makes the current register_pernet_gen_device and register_pernet_gen_subsys routines unnecessary. For the moment I have left them as compatibility wrappers in net_namespace.h They will be removed once all of the users have been updated. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2009-12-01net: Batch network namespace destruction.Eric W. Biederman
It is fairly common to kill several network namespaces at once. Either because they are nested one inside the other or because they are cooperating in multiple machine networking experiments. As the network stack control logic does not parallelize easily batch up multiple network namespaces existing together. To get the full benefit of batching the virtual network devices to be removed must be all removed in one batch. For that purpose I have added a loop after the last network device operations have run that batches up all remaining network devices and deletes them. An extra benefit is that the reorganization slightly shrinks the size of the per network namespace data structures replaceing a work_struct with a list_head. In a trivial test with 4K namespaces this change reduced the cost of a destroying 4K namespaces from 7+ minutes (at 12% cpu) to 44 seconds (at 60% cpu). The bulk of that 44s was spent in inet_twsk_purge. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
